Live from the Palmetto State

What started at 5 a.m. with a tirp to the lovely Memphis International Airport has now concluded with check-in at the downtown Marriott Courtyard in lovely Columbia.
Mid-80s. No humidity. Nice.

I feel I’ve been gone a month. So, help me out. Have I missed out on anything? Surely, there’s some news.

As for the team, they are scheduled to arrive early this evening. However, they’re not staying in Columbia. Instead, they are lodging in Augusta. Golf anyone? I hear there’s a nice course there.

After reading your comments regarding Saturday blogging, this is what I’ll do.
• A pregame blog with any news and notes
• Halftime update with any news and notes
• Quick post-game breakdown

If you’re looking for anything else, let me know.

    Heard anything on the Qb situation? Only reason I ask is because Genes Page said a starter would be announced today? Not trying to ask you the annoying question that is going around-just heard that a starter would be named today. Your plans for weekend blogging sound great

    yeah sounds good to me, now bring back a W with you

  3. bully4prez Says:

    Amen to that, bdog13. I hope we wear the all white unis. Their the best looking ones we have. Besides, we beat Auburn wearing ‘em.

    Im down the all white, we could earn the nickname- The Great White Hype!

    I really like the all whites as well. Looks really classy with the maroon stripes on the socks!

    “Mike and Jay’s Picks” on Dawgsbite.com Who are these guys and who do they think they are? One of them is a Vanderbilt fan. For some reason, he is under the illusion that Vanderbilt is no longer the bottom feeder of the SEC. I don’t care what the past 6 or seven years have looked like for State, I’m just glad we’re not Vanderbilt. The one guy, Jay, actually thinks that Vandy is tough. IMO, they are still a joke. One of his comments “Well, hello MSU, welcome to the SEC.” What in the heck is he talking about? When was the last time Vandy went bowling? If I were a gambling man, I would bet that Vandy still won’t make it to a bowl this year. Until they do, this guy really needs to can it because he doesn’t sound very credible right now. They haven’t even come close to sniffing the Georgia Dome…..just don’t understand how Vandy fans think they have the right to talk trash or Joke any other SEC school, unless it’s about academics.

    That is how most of the guys on dawgsbite are. They tend to want to attack you for your opinions. I will no longer frequent that site now that we have Double G!

  8. bully4prez Says:

    That’s right farley. Double G’s the man!!

    Go State!! Beat the crap out of USC!!!

    I’m out.

    imabulldog, I asked everyone I knew associated with the team last night and they were tight lipped. They know who the starter is, but said, “We’re not releasing that info.” Fine. If I had to guess, though, it’s going to be Wesley Carroll.

  10. dawgbones Says:

    Everything points to Carroll but I’m guessing Riddell for some reason. I think Croom may come out throwing. Let’s root for a hot QB hand all day! Go Dawgs!

  11. Gregg Ellis Says:

    Good guess, dawgbones. You want my job? Obviously, I’m not good with this guessing stuff.
